Culinary Adventures in NYC

Our son Anthony has been watching the You Tuber Strictly Dumpling and just had to check out Hometown Hot Pot & Korean BBQ on Grand Street where Chinatown and Little Italy meet.

It was so much fun! We all ordered the Hot Pot; you pick 3 different broths to cook your food in. We chose chicken broth, Chinese Herb, and Tom Yum. The Tom Yum was the favorite because it was just the right amount of hot and sour and spicy!

Then you pick the all you can eat ingredients from a huge menu. And the sauce bar is amazing!! I had to keep it simple with soy sauce due to my nut allergy, but Tony, Alex and Anthony tried almost all of the sauces! Their favorites were the peanut butter sauce and the hot oil.

Everything we tried was really fresh and delicious. We all loved the lamb and chicken dumplings.

Then we walked around Chinatown and Little Italy, made a big circle, right back to where we started, and capped the day off with some delicious gelato at Ferrari’s, right across the street from Hometown Hot Pot.

Yummy!
